Hello all, I am not 100% sure where this should go or if I should contact RAK directly with this question.
I have a product that I use PCBWay (https://www.pcbway.com/) to build and assemble. It uses the Murata LoRa module and things went great for a while. Murata seems to no longer produce their line of LoRa chips, or they are just an unreliable company, that said the RAK811-h is my only other alternative. I am wondering if anyone has produced a board with the RAK module on it? I have been having issues finding it anywhere. Or do you guys buy it from RAK and solder it onto the board yourself?
Thanks,
And sorry if this is in the wrong sections! I can move it if need be!!!
Thanks for the fast reply, Is the RAK4270 TELEC certified?
I need a chip that is TELEC certified, The RAK811-h DOES have the certification, does the RAK4270?
I think you’ll find that due to the issues with crystal availability, Murata just have a huge backlog of orders, having sold all their inventory they had quite quickly and then distribution ran out shortly thereafter.
I’d go with the RAK4270 on the simple grounds that adjusting the PCB for a square object of similar size is soooooo much easier than trying to accommodate a rectangular object that is larger.
